It's called hyperbole. Get the fuck over it and deal with your issues that matter.

Re: Nonfandom Secrets

Meh, to me hyperbole is things like, "I've told you a thousand times!" You know they haven't really told you a thousand times and that they're just exaggerating for effect.

Whereas when you say, "My scalp is literally on fire right now," when it's itchy/sunburnt for example, it's not hyperbole, it's the wrong use of a word. To me hyperbole there would be saying something like, "My scalp feels like it's on fire right now."

It doesn't REALLY feel like that, but again, you're exaggerating for effect.

You do know that "literally" is used to mean "figuratively" so much that it's been added as an definition? Words change meaning all the time.

Maybe that sounds stupid now, but have you ever used the word "awful" to mean bad? When it originally meant "full of awe". Language evolves.

Agreed that language changes (and on an individual scale, it really doesn't bother me at all when someone uses the word literally to mean figuratively), but it's hard for me to agree that the meaning of a word that literally means:

1. in the literal or strict sense
2. in a literal manner; word for word: to translate literally.
3. actually; without exaggeration or inaccuracy

Can change to mean something else, or it's (no joke intended) literally not the same word anymore.

But at the end of the day, yes language changes and evolves, it's not my decision, and to be bothered by little things like that just seems pointless. :)
